I think there are a couple of things... first, we can write some unit tests for the elements of existing parser and see how it's failing for particular cases and if there's something that can be done. If that doesn't work, we can change from stream of characters to a stream of bytes. Most of the existing parsing logic should work (or be easily ported), but we'll have finer control over the byte-streams for non-western character sets. > > D. > > On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 7:00 PM, David Pollak > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I think part of the problem is that the RFC was written against a > > byte-stream, but we're running the parser against a character stream. > > > > On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 9:18 AM, Xuefeng Wu <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> Thank you for your information. > >> What we should do for this now? > >> let the wrong thing stay or find out a resolution? > >> > >> > >> On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 6:40 PM, Vassil Dichev <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> > >> > > Why the name is *escape*, anyone could explain? > >> > > >> > I think most of the MsgParser concerning URLs is transformed from > >> > RFC1738 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html) BNF notation into > >> > Scala using parser combinators.
